Blackout.

It is truly surprising how bright candles can be.

JoJo and I ate a romantic dinner of taco bell in his living room during the power outage.

This is how I choose to live...

...as if I'm jumping off a cliff...

...knowing that You'll save me.


*side note: photos actually taken by my cousin Julia

*another side note: apparently jumping on the Merge Ahead bean bags is greatly frowned upon and is in fact not allowed. I learned this after I did it, though. So any of you merge people out there: DON'T.

Church of the Living God's 2011 Church Picnic

CLG celebrating 28 years!

Just call me Cousin It...

I have the hair to play the part.

*and not sure why I look like I have multicolored hair. Save for a few highlights it is all one color..?

Enter the shadows

good times @ the fair.

Hello, Hurricane...The Artistic View.

The more artsy of my various Hurricane Irene shots.

When you have no power there isn't much else to do besides be artistic...

Check out the fallen trees and cars driving under downed wires shots @ my other blog, My Name is Not King.

Fedoraface

This is me. I have a fedora on my face. Yes.

Runs in the family...

I love this kid. My cousin.
I also love his shirt on so many levels. Red? Check. Pirates? Check. Description of ourselves? Check.

And if you think he looks cute, you should hear him say my name. "Bewwa" (followed by adorable laughter.)

Various Views of the Sky Down on the Farm...

I love green plants contrasting with a clear blue sky.

God knows how to mix and color block like no one else.

*shots taken on my grandparents farm. And yes, I was laying on the ground in the middle of a corn field to take these shots. I don't mess around.

Dead people all around! Dead people for everyone!

Summary of Shakespearean tragedy: everyone, good and bad and in between winds up dead, therefore you wind up looking at life pessimistically while you're still alive and sitting in the audience.

That is more or less how it goes, people.

Where's your focus?

I find this shot to be interesting. It is wrong in every possible way but...for some reason it intrigues me. I was testing lighting on my camera, but didn't I realize I was catching myself as I did so. This resulted in a perfectly in-focus tree and and a very completely out-of-focus me.

Hmm. Sometimes accidents are interesting.

Know what else is interesting? While I was doing this I locked myself out of my car for the first time in my life. Good times, y'all.

Why do people hate Shakespeare?

The middle school/high school performers Backyard Shakespeare perform of Romeo and Juliet.

All the performers did an awesome job. Shakespeare really isn't as bad as people make it out to be... (just for fun, for those of you who THINK you don't know or care about Shakespeare, here are lists of words and phrases that you might use on a regular basis, originally coined by...you guessed it! My man, Will Shakespeare.)

Enjoy! More pictures to come all week! I took tons!
